How to use Netflix secret codes – Quick guide

So, what are those secret Netflix codes?

You surely already noticed that the Netflix app gives you a lot of recommendations as you browse around it. So you can dig around movies or TV shows only. Or you can dig a little deeper and delve into genre-specific content. It is fascinating as you discover the platform’s potential. But then it turns old very quickly. So boring. It just reminds you of how fast you’ve run out of options.

However, the Netflix video streaming service offers more than 15,000 titles worldwide. So, the chances are you have seen only a tiny fraction of that vast catalog. Even if we go more specific, the about 6,300 titles in the US Netflix library (the largest one) are still more than you could see in a year of streaming.

You can see other Netflix catalogs by connecting to the service with a VPN to cheat the system into thinking you’re a user from another country –more on that later.

But regardless of the variety you can have as a Netflix user of any country or a Netflix user with a top-notch VPN (which gives you access to the library of any country you want), remember that there remains hidden Netflix content for you to discover. And the secret codes for Netflix are the treasure maps you’ll need to find.

Using the Netflix search code

Here’s how you can use the codes on Netflix if you have a smart TV:

1. Open your TV’s Netflix app.
2. Go to “Search.”
3. Write the code in the search bar.
4. Look at the results.

If, on the other hand, you prefer to enjoy your Netflix from a Windows 10 system, you need to do something else. So, if you have a Windows 10 computer and a Smart TV, this is what you must do:

1. Your Smart TV must be Wi-Fi enabled. Also, it needs to be in the same local network as your Windows 10 computer. And both devices need to be Bluetooth-enabled.
2. On your Windows computer, look for the “Connect” application. Ensure that both of your devices support “Miracast.”
3. Take your Smart TV’s remote, press “Home” or “Input,” and select “Screen mirroring” or “Project,” or however your particular TV calls it.
4. Now go to your Windows PC, and in the settings menu, pick “Devices.”
5. Choose “Add Bluetooth or other devices.”
6. Find “Wireless display or dock” and select it.
7. Find your Smart TV on the following menu.
8. That’s it, and now you can cast Netflix to your Smart TV from your computer.

So there you go; now you can use the secret codes to navigate your Netflix.

How can I watch Netflix with a VPN?

So, do you want to see the Netflix library in another country? A streaming VPN is a way to go. You’ll also need the VPN if you can’t log into your Netflix account while overseas.

VPNs exchange your IP address for one that comes from the VPN server you’re using. Your “new” address is from the country where the server is. So, suppose you are connected to a Japanese VPN server and log into Netflix. In that case, you’re in Japan as far as Netflix is concerned –assuming you have one of the few VPN services that work with Netflix.

The best VPNs to use with Netflix today are NordVPN, ExpressVPN, and Surfshark. They have plenty of servers around the globe, and each will give you reliable connections at the highest speeds so you can see an HD video stream without problems. Here is how you can unblock various Netflix libraries:

1. Subscribe to a reliable VPN – We recommend NordVPN for speedy servers for buffer-free streaming.
2. Download and install – Visit the VPN’s website to download the appropriate app for your device. Thankfully, the VPN supports almost all operating systems.
3. Connect to a server – Open the server list and connect to a location from where you want to access the Netflix library.
4. Use the Netflix codes – Explore the specific genres and content with the Netflix search code.

Can I use a free VPN? We’ve heard you asked. Well, you could use a free VPN for Netflix; we can’t advise you even to try it. Most free VPNs on the internet create more security and privacy problems than they solve, and they are usually short on data quotas, resources, servers, and functionality.

Besides, free VPNs are the ones that Netflix has more success finding and blocking. This is not to say there could be a free VPN to deal with Netflix. But even if it’s there, you should keep away from it.

In which countries do Netflix’s secret codes work?

Generally, you can use the secret codes in countries where the platform is available. However, each category’s titles may differ in your location because of licensing and distribution agreements.

So, although its secret codes will work globally, the content in each category may vary. For instance, a US TV show category may have different titles than one in Australia.

Nonetheless, you can use a VPN to access other Netflix libraries, thus increasing your options. For example, the US has the most titles with 5,879 (1,844 TV shows and 4,035 movies), and Canada has the biggest movie selection with 4,043 films.

How can I find similar content on Netflix?

So you finished watching a TV show or a movie that you enjoyed. So naturally, you’d like to find another video that you could enjoy as much. We have good news: you can find similar content using a particular URL and appending the title’s ID. Here’s how you do it:

1. Click on the show or movie title you liked and copy the Title ID.
2. Now add the title ID at the end of this URL: www.netflix.com/browse/similars/. Press “Enter.”
3. See what Netflix says to you about similar material.
